Yes but you will need a big block motor mount and fuel with 18% oil lube.

kind of depends, how much was dripping, and how rich was the engine running? if running really rich especially on the Low end, nitro engines tend to leak out the front bearing a little (if its leaking excessively, bearings could indeed be bad as said above), as they are running, a film layer will build up and seal between the crankcase and the crankshaft in the nose tube, some cranks have a ring cut around the crank to help this action.So I picked up another Traxxas. Revo to be exact. It's so quick! Anyways. Got one of my Traxxas that is dripping fuel from the front of it near the clutch bell and spur gear. What's the best way to fix it?
on the revo? for the most part yes, but some engines the backplate sticks out too far and will impact the rear upper a-arm. i think there was a database somewhere that had a list of ones that fit and ones that don't.Will an OS big block fit on Traxxas?
Can't run anything more than 9%. AZ weather doesn't let any of the engines run, no matter the tuning. Anyways, we only discovered the leak after it's done being run. Not when it gets to hot. Not when it's out of fuel but when we get done with it in a general sense.
Oh I'm going to have to change this thread title again. I picked up an older jato over the weekend. $140. Couldn't pass it up. My buddy got it going within an hour after it sat for a couple years. I was out of town. He got it. Worked on it. Runs like a champ with that 2.5 motor. I do wish I had the 3.3 in it though. But it's stupid fast as is. Just needs new tires. In fact all our trucks need new tires.
Would have responded sooner to the answers to my post but I must have swiped away the notification on my phone. So that's a no go on putting the OS motor on a Traxxas huh? My buddy has been watching videos and has seen people do it. Not that I don't take what you say to heart. Perhaps he's watching it with a different one or different truck? I don't know. But if there's a big kit and change over involved then I'm not on board. I'll just stick it in my original savage. That or the red 21 I have brand new.
Well as I said, it's only after we get done running it. And it's a drip. Not excessive.
unless its ABN construction engine, 9% will work just fine as long as you arent trying to run it lean, which will damage the engine anyway by running lean for extended periods of time.Can't run anything more than 9%.

The front, near the bell clutch.
yes most should fit across the brands, mostly all the same between the 3 brands.So will redcat parts go on it? My r/c shop has redcat parts. And in less than 20 minutes we had this one running after the guy we got it from said he had issues keeping or getting it running. ? And can this be converted from a pull start to something else? Plan on giving it to my kids.
